Definitely a great episode with crazy twists and revelations!
Some New Speculations- New girl is a shapeshifter (many are using it to explain Simone's resurrection, if it isn't a dream/vision).
- New girl is an illuisionist/reality-warpist of some sort, can induce hallucinations or manipulate memory somehow.
(Both are to support how exactly she'll "clean up this mess" for the OWI.)
- The OWI is trying to breed new meta-humans by finding out what makes them tick and duplicating them into those without the gene - refer to the mention of vivisections during the conversation between Claude and HRG and the comment made by Thompson about Ted.
- Matt is going to be "reprogrammed" to work for the OWI.
Any thoughts, theories, or other speculations you may have?
Some Of The Many New Questions- Who exactly was Claude protecting? Most speculate it's Meredith.
- Where will the Haitian and Claire head off to? Many are rooting for an overdue Petrelli reunion in NY.
- Is TV magic going to explain why no one is going to die from the massive radiation poisoning they should all be getting soon, or can Ted emit different types of radiation waves?
- What's the significance of the Deveaux rooftop, and why does Claude (in the present) turn to it as a sanctuary? Does it signify a fallout within the OWI (or one between the OWI and Deveaux) that is yet to be revealed?
-Was Mr. Deveaux somehow involved with them and/or has the ability to astral/dream project? And would this lineage explain why Simone would be alive (even though the actress who plays her has apparently made clear that her time is up with the show) and thus negate the speculations of the new girl being a shapeshifter?
- So why didn't the Haitian supress Ted's powers? Does this mean that he can only block off powers of the mind?
- How will
Peter vs. Sylar Round 2 turn out?
My Two CentsQUOTE(Sherlock. @ Feb 26 2007, 7:22 PM)

- Does anyone else love that imdb.com says NOTHING about linderman?
If it helps, he's being played by Malcolm McDowell - at least, that's what's been well accepted.

what i dont get is hiro's dad how is he connected when he is running some big corporation?? maybe he is lindermans boss?
Either he's Linderman's right hand man (or at least one of the individuals in command of the OWI) or the OWI is an alliance of different factions, with Kaito Nakamura being one of the leaders (going with that theory, the other leaders being Linderman, Mr. Deveaux, and maybe even the deceased Petrelli father).
Also, there are theories about his "big corporation" tying in with his visit to Hiro - the company being a cover-up like Primatech, him trying to protect Hiro (much like HRG with Claire), etc.

SIMONE HAS A POWER?!

I should surely hope not. That actress has her time up with the show (hopefully), and I'd much rather have a vision or the new girl's power explaining her being resurrected than having her stay any longer - her character's rather useless, IMO.
It's safe to say that the many things they revealed only spawned more questions for us viewers - and the preview for "Like Any Parasite" was no exception - boy, let's not even get to those questions (Ando's return, Mohinder+Sylar, etc.)
Gotta admit, Kring and his legion of writers are geniuses.
